POST -7 Work begins on big subdivision here Streets w ill be cut and layed in approximately three and a half months in the first stage in development of an 84 home development behind Sandy’s industrial park. * Henderson & McNeely, Troutdale developers, expect underground utilities, sewer hookups, storm drains, curbs and a new city park to be completed about the same time The Tickle Creek Estates upper-incom e homes w ill feature larger lots and all sin g le -fa m ily reside n tial homes.

The development has been approved by the city and annexed into Sandy. The developer now awaits ap proval by Clackamas County before submitting final plans to the state department of real estate in Salem Henderson & McNeely w ill also act as general con tractor of the development, building homes on a speculation basis for prospective buyers and acting as its own realty agency through its Prudential Realty. The firm expects to complete only four or five homes by this winter, with most home construction done next year The 29.1 -acre development should require two years to complete, with the developer selling some lots to in dependent home builders. A portion of the pipe work for the water and storm sewer w ill be done by Jim C olt C onstruction of Troutdale. Homes w ill be in the $70.000 to $80,000 price range and all three and four bedroom houses, each w ith a minimum of 14.000 square feet. Commissioners delay vote on county plan by PATTY FARRELL of The Outlook slafl Approval ot amendments to the Clackamas County comprehensive plan which redesignate land to allow more development was postponed Monday by the board ol commissioners. It w ill rule on the amend ments Ju ly 24 a fte r reviewing more information Irom planning s ta ff on homestead and cluster use options The a m e n d m e n ts s p e c ific a lly designate un classified lands and allow more developm ent w ith in rural lands. That proposal refle cts property owners’ concerns that minimum lot sizes for farm lands are too large, forcing them to pay high taxes, said Ardis Stevenson, Oregon State University extension agent. Owners also told planners that the land olten is not good tor tarming The proposals w ill designate land that previously had no cla ssifica tio n and w ill provide clearer definitions of types of land uses throughout the county, she said In addition, the plan be fore com m issioners w ill specifically zone lands in the Cottrell area The proposals change some a g ric u ltu ra l lands to rural lands, allowing more development. “ Cottrell is unique in that the other areas of the county won’t be zoned until next fa ll,’’ said planner Dave Poese. “ It ’s a case of the squeaky wheel that got the grease.” Stevenson said the Cottrell Planning Organization “ was politically effective enough to get a commitment from the county commissioners to act now ” She said other communities had asked for but were not granted zoning concurrent with the amend ments. The cu rre n t com prehensive plan re s tric ts property owners of rural lands to a five-acre m inim um lot. The new designation would allow division ot rural lands into two, five and 10-acre lots, Stevenson said. “ I t ’s in tended for acreage home sites and small farm s.” Reclassifying agricultural and forest lands w ill bring the county into line with state definitions of proper types of soils and lands for those d e s ig n a tio n s . C u rre n t designations outline lot sizes for farm lands and service fa c ilitie s w ith in forest lands. The proposal does not spec if iy lot sizes for farm and forest lands, but at present, lands would be zoned under cu rre n t ex clusive farm or forest use, re s tric tin g m inim um lot sizes to 20 or 40 acres, Stevenson explained. But by not specifying lot sizes, the amendments allow the fle xib ility to establish new zoning policies, she said. “ The policy does not preclude establishment of a new exclusive fa rm use ca teg ory.” She said the planning staff currently is looking into a new EFU zoning with no minimum lot size, in which zoning would depend on the effect the proposed development would have on agriculture. "You could have 100 acres that would be too small (for development) and one acre that would be adequate,” Stevenson said. The idea is in early planning stages, she Fire board discusses levy BORING — An upcoming serial levy, a fire chief conference and the Whit- tenburg property tax initiative topped discussion subjects at the Boring Fire D istrict meeting last Tuesday night at the Boring Fire Station. On Aug 8, the lire district w ill be asking voters to approve a $25,000 per year, five-year serial levy that w ill provide funding to buy needed equip ment for the fire district. Matt Shields, fire chief, expressed concern for the Aug. 8 serial levy chance of passage due to the un willingness of voters to pass tax measures. He said he wanted to make sure voters knew why the district is asking for the additional and replacement equipment to help get the levy passed. The district is asking for the funds to buy a new m ini-fire rescue unit for the Eagle Creek substation, replace a 1958 tanker truck with a late model used unit of sim iliar design, put a larger engine in another tanker, buy or replace a generator, replace breathing units and buy fire resistive clothing John Ritter, board member, com mented he thought district voters would pass the serial levy because it would be for their own good, adding to the d istrict’s fire and rescue capabilities. Shields reported to the board about his trip to the Oregon Fire Chiefs’ Conference in Baker, last month. The board heard a year-end recap from Shields concerning the 1977-78 budget. There is a $7000 carryover to the 1978- 79 budget that Shields, under recom mendation of the district's auditor, recommended the board save the carryover in the form of a sup plemental budget. The 1.5 percent Whittenburg property tax measure and its possible problems for the Boring Fire D istrict in terms of funding were presented in a rough estimate sheet to the board by Shields. In his report, Shields said local services, such as fire, water and sewer districts that rely entirely on property taxes would be hardest hit. percent and manpower would go from ten employes to three, resulting in a deterioration ot services. He added that a two percent growth allowance in the property tax measure would not be enough to keep up with department and area growth. He said local control of service districts would be totally lost according to the measure. He emphasized if voters wanted to improve their fire service through a serial levy such as the one coming up to buy equipment, the tax proposal would not Ifet them. In other business, the board re elected E a rl Meier as board president, Dee Wescott as vice chairman and Da. " ‘ ockncras secretary treasurer. Each wilF continue their term for another year.

Those would allow a property owner to b uild the designated number of houses for his land in one smaller area that is unsuitable for farming, keeping most of the farm area intact, Stevenson explained.
